Douška ke slučitelnosti „lex voucher“ s právem EU

The article reviews the compatibility of Czech “Lex Voucher” with EU Directive on package travel. The review is done on the backdrop of two recent cases of the EU Court of Justice (C-407/21 UFC – Que choisir and C-540/21 Commission v. Slovakia) where the Court ruled that both the French and Slovak analogues of Czech “Lex Voucher” are incompatible with the EU Directive on package travel. Notwithstanding these two cases it is argued that the question of the compatibility of Czech “Lex Voucher” with the Directive can be definitively answered only if the Court explicitly considers the argument of teleological reduction of the Directive in the situation of the corona virus pandemic. The article also critically comments on the recent proposal of the European Commission for the revision of the Directive.
